Christmas to Remember Bundle
Pick Your Christmas to Remember – Traditional, Elegant or Modern
When I purchased the Christmas to Remember Bundle, I was worried that all of my cards would look the same. The bundle includes the Christmas Pines dies and the Christmas to Remember stamp set with nine greetings of all sizes. Assembling the card is pretty straight forward, layer the pines and and add the pine cones. And then complete the card with your choice of greeting. But that doesn’t leave a lot of room to create unique cards.
I realized that the variety from this stamp set needs to come from the colors and greetings that I picked. I decided to go for three different looks today – traditional, elegant and modern. Please leave a comment and let me know which card is your favourite.
And if you love this bundle as much as I do, it can be your free pick with the purchase of a starter kit. The kit includes $165 in your choice of products plus free shipping and GST included. And until September 30th, you can choose from twelve different bundle options free.
Traditional Christmas Card
This is my traditional version – red and green. I paired Cherry Cobbler ink for the greeting with Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen card stock for the pines. The pine cones are Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.
I recommend that you use the adhesive sheets with these dies as assembling the card is so much easier. Trust me.
Elegant Christmas Card
This is my elegant version. I kept it simple with white and gold. And an elegant card calls for embossing so I used white embossing powder on the brushed metallic paper.
On the left is the Gold Foil and on the right is the gold paper from the Brushed Metallic pack.
The brushed metallic paper was a better match for the Be Dazzling 6″ x 6″ Specialty Paper. The Be Dazzling paper is absolutely stunning and only available until September 30th or while supplies last. And the best thing about this paper is that it is free with a $60 order during Sale-a-bration.
Christmas Card Modern
The trend towards modern Christmas trees continues this year. I wanted to create a card to reflect a white tree with bright ornaments.
For this card, I partnered Melon Mambo with Polished Pink, Bermuda Bay with Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape with Highland Heather. I used the same white embossing power for three tiny “merry” greeting to match the pine cones.
I like the three distinct looks created with this bundle and can picture cutting up the pines into smaller pieces for additional creative options. Can you believe it is less than four months to Christmas?

Color & Contour Card with Fresh Freesia
This Color & Contour card in Fresh Freesia ended up being so simple to stamp and put together.
The new catalogue bundle that I used for this card – the Color & Contour stamp set and Scalloped Contour Dies – includes 13 stamps as well as 8 dies and is quickly becoming a favourite that I reach for often.
To make this card, I stamped three flowers and three buds onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper using Black StazOn ink. Then I added colour to the flowers using the Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent refills and the Water Painters. To achieve a watercolor look, leave some white showing when adding colour.
After cutting out the flowers with a die and the smaller buds free hand with scissors, I created the rest of the card front.
I coloured the stamped leaves in Soft Succulent again using the Water Painters and added the splatter image to fill in some of the white space on the card. I kept everything in threes – the flowers, buds, splatters and leaves.
After adding the Basic Back scallop piece to the Whisper White card, I adhered the cut out images with dimensionals.
Color & Contour Bundle $69.25 #158356
Color & Contour Stamp Set with Scalloped Contours DIes
After assembling the card, I added a few Matte Black Dots for extra appeal.
And can we talk about the greetings in this stamp set for just a minute? I love the mixed fonts and the slightly larger size of the greetings and how amazing they look.
Now that I have the layout of this card completed, it will be easy to make again and again in other colors. I plan to start with another of my favourite new In Colors, Pale Papaya and continue on from there.

Sweet As A Peach Stamps and Peach Dies

The Sweet As A Peach stamp set and Peach dies coordinate with the paper to make fun and colourful card in just a few minutes. Plus if you buy the bundle, you save 10%.
The focus of this card is the layered paper. I limited the stamping to the greeting and an peach accent. For ink, I used only Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz. The two created a really vibrant combination.
Sweet As A Peach Bundle $49.50 #155823
You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper
Here are the cut dimensions of the paper and card stock:
- Whisper White Base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ folded in half
- Peaches paper – 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″
- Pear Pizzazz brushstroke paper – 2-1/4″ x 4-3/4″
- Calypso Coral polka dot paper – 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
- Whisper White greeting – 1-1/2″ x 3″
- Whisper White scrap for die cut pieces
You’re A Peach Bundle
I adhered all the die cut pieces – the peach, leaves and banner greeting – with dimensionals. All of these dies are included in the bundle and the banner frame fits multiple greetings. Pairing the smaller font greeting with the larger greeting in different colours really makes the message stand out.
You’re A Peach Envelope Flap
To cover the flap of the envelope, cut a piece of designer series paper to 2-1/4″ x 6″. Adhere the paper to the envelope flap and then trim off the excess paper with scissors. I opted to use the same Pear Pizzazz brushstroke design from the card.
The following designer series paper are also included in the sale:

Just Want to Say Card
Just Want to Say Card – Art Gallery
No matter what you “just want to say”, the Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery dies bundle has a greeting that expresses the right sentiment. Sorry, thank you, I miss you, good luck, Best Wishes, You are Lovely, Congratulations, I’m Thinking of You and Happy Birthday. This stamp set has them all. Plus some breathtakingly gorgeous florals to go with.
I have a secret weakness for pink and orange. It’s a crazy combination but I love the two colours together. This card uses Stampin’ Up! faves, Flirty Flamingo and Pumpkin Pie.
Rather than layer the two flower images together as usual, I stamped only the larger flower. I really like how more white around the flower made the words stand out a bit more. The stem was stamped in Old Olive.
I added dimensionals behind the flower as well as the Happy Birthday frame to add some height to the card.
Don’t miss out!

Welcome A Baby with Hippo Happiness
Did you ever think that attending a baby shower via Zoom would be a thing? Although we aren’t celebrating like we used to, I still wanted to take a moment and create a welcome baby card for the new parents. And hope that greeting the baby in person will happen in the near future.
And aren’t the animals included in the Hippo Happiness stamp set adorable? If hippos don’t bring you happiness, you can choose a sheep, a horse or even a unicorn to add to your cards.
Hippo Happiness Bundle
Save 10% on the bundle $65.50
Hippo Happiness Stamp Set and Hippo & Friends Dies
The dies that are included in Hippo & Friends Dies also include some frames that I used on both of these cards. There are three unique shapes with multiple layers to each shape.
Used with the included animals or on their own, these frame dies make easy backgrounds for cards by matching the card stock layer or contrasting as below.
I wanted this card to be bright and colorful so I selected Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green. for my stamped images and card stock. For the hippo, I stamped the body and then stamped off once for the face allowing for the fainter color.
The colors used for this card are Smoky Slate, Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee. A little more subtle than the hippo but this friendly sheep still stands out. Especially with the balloons. All the little accents – balloons, butterflies, a flower and more – add so much fun to making cards with this stamp set.
I added some Neutrals 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and assorted greetings from the Well Said stamp set and Well Written Dies to complete this card.

Art Gallery Stamp Set and Floral Gallery Dies Bundle
I am so in awe of the amazing Fine Art Floral Suite Collection that includes the Art Gallery stamp set and the Floral Gallery dies. Toss in some golden accents like the Golden Garden acetate, gorgeous ribbon and the oh, so much fun, gilded leafing and start creating.
Simple or detailed, elegant or casual, you can create cards that will wow the recipient no matter the occasion.
Bumblebee, Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade and Old Olive
The card base and layering piece were made using Bumblebee card stock. I embossed the layer with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to add texture. It’s in the name after all.
Remember to remove the backing from the acetate
The backing on the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate should be removed before assembling the card. An easy way to remove the backing is to attach a piece of scrap card stock with a glue dot to the corner and gently pull.
To ensure that every bit of the acetate would be used, I cut the pieces to 4″ x 2″.
The Fine Art Floral Suite Collections
I stamped the flower in Flirty Flamingo ink and then over stamped with Poppy Parade ink. The stem and leaves image is stamped in Old Olive. The “thank you” greeting was also stamped in Poppy Parade. And I adhered the flower and the greeting to the card with dimensional for a bit of height.
Love the shape of the greeting? It’s a die that included in the Floral Gallery dies in this size and a larger size to fit the 9 different greetings.
The Fine Art Floral Suite Collection includes all 8 products for $139.25 – the Art Gallery stamp set, Floral Gallery dies, Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate, Fine Art Ribbon, Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, Heat & Stick Powder, Gilded Leafing Embellishment and Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.
